Alembic Milbecidal 2.5mg Tablet for Dogs and Cats, 4 Tablets

Broadest Spectrum Deworming in a Single Tablet: Milbecidal 2.5mg simultaneously targets and eliminates the full range of common canine parasites in a single monthly dose providing a level of comprehensive coverage that single-compound dewormers simply cannot match. Parasites covered include:

Roundworms (Nematodes): Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina the most common puppy worms, transmitted from mother to pup before birth and through nursing milk.
Hookworms: Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala blood-sucking intestinal parasites that cause anaemia, bloody diarrhoea, and potentially life-threatening protein loss in young puppies.
Whipworms: Trichuris vulpis deeply embedded cecal parasites that cause chronic, bloody, mucoid diarrhoea and are resistant to many standard dewormers.
Tapeworms (Cestodes): Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., Echinococcus multilocularis, Mesocestoides spp. flat segmented parasites acquired through ingesting infected fleas or small prey animals.
Heartworm Prevention: Dirofilaria immitis the most dangerous and potentially fatal parasitic disease in dogs, transmitted by mosquitoes. In a well-controlled laboratory study, monthly administration was 100% effective against induced heartworm infections when administered once monthly for 6 consecutive months.
Lungworm Reduction: Angiostrongylus vasorum reduces the intensity of lungworm infection when administered appropriately.
Spirocercosis: Spirocerca lupi a serious oesophageal worm increasingly prevalent in India.

Highly Palatable Chewable Format Stress-Free Dosing: Milbecidal comes in the form of chewable, palatable tablets for easy administration. Most puppies accept the tablet willingly as a treat eliminating the wrestling match that comes with traditional hard tablets. For puppies who are hesitant, simply break the tablet into pieces and mix into a small amount of food.

Once-Monthly Dosing Maximum Convenience: A single tablet once every month provides full-spectrum parasite protection no complex multi-drug protocols, no weekly dosing schedules. One chew. Once a month. Complete protection.

Rapid Systemic Absorption & Action: The maximum concentration of milbemycin oxime in the blood plasma is reached within 2 to 4 hours providing rapid onset parasite kill after administration, with the anthelmintic effect completing within 24 to 48 hours of dosing.

Critical for Heartworm Prevention in Mosquito-Endemic India: India's tropical and subtropical climate makes heartworm disease (Dirofilaria immitis) a year-round threat in most regions. Monthly Milbecidal dosing started from the first possible age prevents heartworm larvae from developing into adult worms, protecting your puppy's heart and pulmonary arteries before any damage can occur.

Prevents Zoonotic Worm Transmission to Your Family: Many of the parasites targeted by Milbecidal including Toxocara canis (roundworm), Ancylostoma caninum (hookworm), and Echinococcus (tapeworm) are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from infected puppies to humans, particularly young children. Regular deworming with Milbecidal directly protects your entire family's health, not just your puppy's.

How to Use:

Alembic Milbecidal 2.5mg is a prescription veterinary antiparasitic that should ideally be administered under veterinary guidance. The tablet may be offered to the dog by hand or added to a small amount of dog food. The chewable should be administered in a manner that encourages the dog to chew, rather than to swallow without chewing. Chewables may be broken into pieces and fed to dogs that normally swallow treats whole. Care should be taken that the dog consumes the complete dose, and treated animals should be observed for a few minutes after administration to ensure that no part of the dose is lost or rejected. If it is suspected that any of the dose has been lost, redosing is recommended.

Important Care Notes:

• Administer with or immediately after food to maximise absorption and reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal upset.
• Do not use in puppies less than six weeks of age.Do not use in puppies weighing less than 0.5 kg.
